@Saweetie ‘s ‘High Maintenance’ EP just dropped. Here’s what you need to know

The Bay Area’s Saweetie is the tantalizing rap prospect that hip-hop needs. Her subtle, sly brand of sexuality is a much-needed change from the overbearing, vulgar brand that comprises the game at the moment; combined with the fact that she can really spit (no pun intended), you’re looking at hopefully the next big thing in the country. Her new EP ‘High Maintenance’ drops tomorrow (3/16) and it looks to be the splash that she needs to further establish her as one of the game’s finest new prospects. In case you’re a little shaky on all things Saweetie, we’ve got you covered.

Who is Saweetie?

Hailing from Santa Clara, CA, Saweetie is an upcoming emcee that’s making waves in the country. Her debut single “ICY GRL” made her a household name last May, instantly going viral. At only 24 years old, she has a lot of time ahead of her to further establish herself as one of the game’s elite.

Wow.

Yeah, she tends to have that effect.

What’s her new EP ‘High Maintenace’ about?

There are eight tracks, one of them being the previously heard “ICY GRL.” We’re expecting her trademark brand of tantalizing honesty, smooth flows, and general badassery. We know that Zaytoven as well as a number of other prominent producers in the game will be featured.

I’ m sold. Where can I get it?

The more we see and hear of Cammy Bands, the more we get to understand his character and his energy. He may appear quiet and careful, he’s loud, energetic, and adventurous. On his new single “We Ball,” he channels Famous Dex-like energy in an easy-going Detroit trap ballad featuring some unique vocal stylings from him. It’s an interesting listen that, for what it lacks in song quality, makes up for with its uniqueness.

Bay Area Spotlight: kflex’s “Benj Button” is a unique listen

“She said I can’t fuck but now she pulling off her legs” says kflex on his new track “Benj Button.” Maybe I’m reading into this wrong, but is he referring to the woman being an amputee? Regardless, the track is a slapper. kflex raps loud and brash, and it works. It sounds different than a lot of what comes out of the Bay Area, his production also differing drsatically. It works too.
